The Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa has called for mentorship among Christians to provide legacy of genuine discipleship of Jesus Christ.

The governor made the call on Saturday at the 40th anniversary celebration of the Anglican Diocese of Warri at the Bishop's Court, Warri.

According to him, mentorship and discipleship are very important in the growth of the church.

He said, "I congratulate the diocese for attaining 40 years, a period with which the church has grown in leaps and bounds.

"I am happy that we are growing as a church; this Diocese has given birth to other dioceses and churches.

"We should rededicate ourselves to God as we move beyond 40 years; we have won souls and we should continue to win more souls for Christ."

The governor commended the church for documenting the activities of the church in a book and urged the faithful to not only have a copy of the book, but to read it.

Earlier in an address, the Bishop of the Diocese, Rt. Rev. Christian Ide, had said that the Diocese of Warri had every reason to thank God because it had attained tremendous and remarkable achievements, physically and spiritually.

According to him, it has been able to attain unity and peace in tandem with its mandate as enshrined in its vision: the light of the gospel in all dark places.

"The Diocese of Warri was carved out of Benin Diocese and it has within the four decades of its existence, given birth to the Diocese of Ughelli, Oleh, Western Izon and Sapele, to the glory of God," he said.

High point of the event, which was preceded by a Thanksgiving Service by members of the church, was the launch of the book - Diocese of Warri at 40.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
